  • FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a fourth embodiment of a method for sending a TRILL data frame according to the present invention. This embodiment is based on the foregoing embodiments, and an operation of forwarding a TRILL data frame after a PE receives the TRILL data frame is described in detail. This embodiment includes the following steps:
  • Step 501 The PE receives the TRILL data frame.
  • the PE receives the TRILL data frame from an AC side, for example, receives a broadcast data frame, an unknown unicast data frame, or a multicast data frame that enters a VPLS.
  • Step 502 The PE determines whether the TRILL data frame is a multicast data frame, and if the TRILL data frame is the multicast data frame, executes step 503 to step 504 ; otherwise, executes step 505 .
  • the PE determines, according to a destination MAC address of the received TRILL data frame, whether the TRILL data frame is the multicast data frame.
  • Step 503 The PE searches the forwarding table according to a combination of a user VLAN and a user multicast MAC address, and if an entry with the combination of the user VLAN and the user multicast MAC address is obtained, executes step 504 ; otherwise, executes step 505 .
  • the forwarding table is searched, according to the combination of the user VLAN and the user multicast MAC address, for a port identifier corresponding to the combination of the user VLAN and the user multicast MAC address, so as to find a PW port corresponding to the port identifier.
  • Step 504 The PE performs copying and forwarding, according to the combination of the user VLAN and the user multicast MAC address, to the PW port corresponding to the port identifier.
  • the PE copies and forwards the multicast data frame according to the found PW port.
  • Step 505 The PE determines whether the TRILL data frame is a broadcast or an unknown unicast data frame, and if yes, executes step 506 ; otherwise, executes step 508 .
  • the PE When determining that the received TRILL data frame is not the multicast data frame, the PE further determines whether the received TRILL data frame is the broadcast data frame or the unknown unicast data frame. For example, when destination MAC addresses of the received TRILL data frame are all 1, it is considered that the received TRILL data frame is the broadcast data frame. If the received TRILL data frame does not belong to the multicast data frame, the broadcast data frame, or the unknown unicast data frame, step 508 is executed.
  • Step 506 The PE searches the forwarding table according to the user VLAN, and if an entry with the user VLAN is obtained, executes step 507 ; otherwise, executes step 508 .
  • a forwarding table is searched, according to the user VLAN, for a port identifier corresponding to the user VLAN, so that the PW port corresponding to the port identifier is found.
  • Step 507 The PE performs copying and forwarding, according to the user VLAN, to the PW port corresponding to the port identifier.
  • the PE copies and forwards the broadcast or the unknown unicast data frame according to the found PW port.
  • Step 508 The PE broadcasts and copies the TRILL data frame.
  • the received TRILL data frame is copied and broadcasted.
  • a multicast TRILL data frame and a broadcast/unknown unicast TRILL data frame encapsulated using TRILL are forwarded as required at a PW side, thereby avoiding a problem of broadcasting and copying a TRILL data frame to all PW sides when a VPLS network forwards the TRILL data frame, and saving bandwidth at a VPLS network side.
  • a PE 1 acquires the user VLAN 10 in a TRILL control frame that is from a PE 2 and a port identifier PW 12 of a PW port receiving the TRILL control frame, and stores a correspondence between the VLAN 10 and the PW 12 ; similarly, the PE 1 acquires the user VLAN 20 in a TRILL control frame that is from a PE 3 and a port identifier PW 13 of the PW port receiving the TRILL control frame, and stores a correspondence between the VLAN 20 and the PW 13 .
  • the PE 1 When receiving a broadcast data frame or an unknown unicast data frame from the RB 1 , the PE 1 searches the forwarding table according to the user VLAN 10 in the broadcast data frame or the unknown unicast data frame, to find the port PW 12 corresponding to the VLAN 10 , so as to forward the broadcast data frame or the unknown unicast data frame from the PW 12 instead of the PW 13 , thereby avoiding a waste of link bandwidth between the PE 1 and the PE 3 .
